Semiconductors should have another good year in 2018, but growth is slowing. Further out, a downturn may be coming for the industry and the broader economy — but just when and why is still not clear, speakers said at the Industry Strategy Symposium.

What is a smart edge device? With increased intelligence at the edge of the network, these devices are being used for data collection and control, but what exactly makes them smart? In this webinar, you will get insights into key attributes of a smart end node, like simple and easy to use, agility, reliability, SWaP, programmability and security.

In this webinar you will learn how modular systems based on the tested SMARC Computer-on-Modules provide an efficient solution and for which applications SMARC is the right answer offering perfect the fit for IOT computing. Additionally you will get insights in current topics of security requirements and how to meet them.

PCAP is the most advanced touch solution available today. But due to cost reasons it has been limited to smaller devices. Scaling PCAP to larger screen sizes, 24+ inches, had deterred many customers, but Elo is changing this now with its latest generation of PCAP touch screens.

In 5 keynotes, 54 lectures, 2 special sessions by EPoSS and more than 35 poster presentations top class speakers from science and industry provide on the most recent developments, applications and trends. For further information please visit www.smartsystemsintegration.com/conference.

The areas historically served by silicon devices have in recent years been taken over more often by Wide Band Gap Devices. Wide Band Gap Semiconductors can accommodate the increasing demands by permitting better performance than today’s silicon. In our virtual conference leading wide band gap companies together with companies from the test & measurement area provide deep insights into designing with GaN and SiC.

Encryption, authentication, and other security methods work fine to protect data and program updates passing through the Internet. That is, unless one end can easily be hacked to steal secret keys and possibly implant malware for future activation. Then, unbeknownst to the system operators, confidential information is being stolen daily and possible major service disruptions lie ahead.

Rohde & Schwarz launch the new R&S RTC1000 oscilloscope series. The compact oscilloscope can double as an eight-channel logic analyzer, a four-channel pattern generator and a protocol analyzer for I2C, SPI, UART/RS-232, CAN and LIN; and as a digital voltmeter, component tester, spectrum analyzer and counter.

Although pointers in C/C++ can seem confusing at first, they provide an extremely powerful tool that allows you to create compact and efficient code. Using pointers is one of the most difficult aspects of programming, with the topic of object-oriented languages close behind.

Pentair offers solutions for lab and field use based on a modular COM (Computer On Module) carrier for type 6 COM express. The embedded system solutions include a COM module, a COM carrier, all integrated in a case with cooling and power management.

An oscilloscope's track and trend features add two measurement-based math functions that you can use to gain insight into measurements. Trend is a plot of measured parameter values in the order the measurements were made, using measurement event number as a horizontal value.

Plessey Semiconductor said it expects to be the first to market with a monolithic microLED based display on its GaN-on-Silicon technology. The company also moved to a technology licensing model (as opposed to just manufacturing), to become a key technology platform provider for the photonics industry.

What do you really get using a supplier tool for an multiple feedback (MFB) low pass active filter? Let's continue the quest for the best results using the example designs from Part 1. In this online design tool accuracy quest, delivered RC values from four of the available supplier tools for a relatively simple 2nd order low pass filter implemented as a MFB topology.

I2C is a two-wire communication protocol known for its simplicity. Despite this reputation, I2C does have its challenges: a limited number of bits for a unique address can create address conflicts, or multiple devices may require different input voltages. Although solving these problems may seem straightforward, there are implication challenges to consider.

Within external and internal power supplies working with 230VAC noise filtering is mandatory to comply with European and global EMI reduction rules. When it comes to filtering through chokes the magnetic material plays a major role to comply with that. The webinar will show you which components will help you to reduce size and weight while keeping the performance of filtering on the same level and you will learn how to choose the right magnetic filter.

Whether you’re a hobbyist or an engineer using the Raspberry Pi platform, it's not uncommon to overclock it to maximum milk the processor for speed. The processor can very rapidly heat up and, if running at extremely high clock speeds (beyond 1 GHz) over a long period of time.
